Firm to make soft drink from cow urine

A company in India is working on a soft drink made from cow urine.

The Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) is hoping to create the beverage – which is known as "gau jal", which means "cow water" - by the end of the year.

Despite concerns about the drink, Om Prakash - the head of the department in charge of the beverage – insists it will be "tasty".

The RSS have claimed that cow urine can be used to treat a number of ailments such as cancer and liver disease.
